Why don’t you quit being so naive and wake up. People aren’t defending Monta their just sick of seeing women still trying to play dumb around famous, powerful men. Believe it or not — not all grown women are innocent and defenseless and have no agenda. I’m not saying Monta is innocent or guilty but it’s completely naive these days to think grown women are seriously appalled by seeing a man’s body. Have you watched a music video recently?

So your telling me a low-level, non-attractive women who was working an office position that no longer exists — was seriously “upset, disgusted and traumatized” by having a famous, athletic multimillionaire come on to her???

Not to personally dis her and her job, but don’t give me this crap that this middle-class women living in Oakland is seriously distraught and forever damaged now that a rich and famous man has sent her naked pictures of him. Pics like these wouldn’t raise an eyebrow with a 7th grade girl nowadays, let alone a grown women whom I’m sure has seen many a man’s body before… Bodies that weren’t of professional athletes.

Millions of women these days have naked pictures on their phones that they text of themselves or receive from guys… Wither you agree with it or not, it is the truth and not a big deal in modern society. So if women don’t have an issue with sexting pics of themselves — don’t tell me that this women is brokenhearted that her sexts were coming from a rich and famous guy.

I’m not saying Monta is innocent nor am I defending his actions — but grown women can’t keep playing stupid and acting like they don’t know whats going on and are powerless to stop a man’s yearlong advances. I find it hard to believe that Monta Ellis would be obsessively pursuing a non-attractive, overweight women while constantly being told to stop for over a year….

She wanted Monta Ellis to stop sending her naked pictures — Like I want Beyonce to stop calling me…

This entire circumstance changed when the wife of Monta Ellis called and complained to management. This is when management stated to both parties knock it off. Enforcing work code policies to Deter litigations.

Being offensive apparently leads to a full court defense!

Professional athletes have women throwing themselves at them all the time…period. It could be because they want something to brag about with their friends or they’re delusional enough to think it will be “forever after”.

Don’t believe me? Go to a hotel where a visiting professional team is staying. Look in the hotel bar. Watch the visiting players go up to their rooms…then come back to the bar and say “you, you, and you”…then go back upstairs with their “catch”. I’ve been in the same hotel (on business) a couple times and was blown away how this is easier than the proverbial “fishing with dynamite”.

Don’t think for one second there isn’t team employees that don’t have their eyes on players too. They just don’t have to hang out in a hotel bar to do it.

Well of course you protect Ellis because if he becomes damaged good (opps too late) his market value drops more. Yeah the Ws are screwed once again. Punting will do no good.

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:40:30 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/?p=12904#comment-111815Its sickening how fast many are to blame the victim. Would you want your mom/sister/wife/daughter to be subjected to such treatment then blamed because of their “weight”?

The Warriors are trying to control the situation by claiming “a consensual relationship.” Well according to the victim there was never even any relationship. Yet when you put “consensual” out there, everyone wonders what all the fuss is about. Its not about a rape, its about a person complaining then getting fired.

A society that litigates? You ever think about what the alternative is? Yeah, you have the government/king appoint all judges (their brothers/friends) who make all decisions without a jury and the poor get no attorneys. Yeah that system works out well in China.

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:17:15 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/?p=12904#comment-111810Well it took the 17th person to comment about the ladies weight. I was expecting that to be the first comment made then all the “fat” jokes would start. None of us know what really happened here and neither side is to be believed or disbelieved until the evidence is put forth. Have any of you ever been accused of sexual harassment? Have any of you ever been the accuser? If not, you know nothing about the subject and should just shut up.

This situation should not be decided in the News Papers, the so-called “Court Of Public Opinion” is not a court of law nor is it a valid or informed source. It pollutes the Justice System in this country beyond reason. It pollutes the Jury pool and prevents anyone from getting a fair trial. You S_ _ T House lawyers should keep your stupid opinions to your selves.

It was appropriate for the Mercury News to publish the Warriors Statement but not appropriate for Mr. Kawakami to post it on this blog. It was done strictly to bring out all you S _ _T House Lawyers from under the Rocks where you hide all day. Yes I am damn angry at the constant meddling of the News Media in the Justice System and an under educated public judging people with absolutely no factual evidence in their possession. I don’t know any of these people and I am satisfied to let the courts decide the issues.

Lets get back to sports here, where stupid uninformed opinions don’t hurt people!
